The cause of scar tissue pain is damage to a small skin nerve, or when a nerve is squeezed by the scar tissue. In scar tissue pain, which can occur after an operation, there sometimes mention of neuroma formation at the end of a damaged skin nerve.
Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (P.A.W.S.) causes lower intensity withdrawal symptoms that can last for weeks or even months after you detox from opiates. Depending on the drug that you are detoxing from, an acute detox can last from 3-7 days. Some drugs like Suboxone and methadone may have longer acute withdrawal periods. Unfortunately, many continue to suffer from Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome well beyond their detox. Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome is not just associated with opiate withdrawal. P.AW.S. can result from long-term use of opiates, alcohol, benzodiazepines (like Xanax, Klonopin) and even antidepressants. Essentially, itâs a continuation of the detox process after long-term substance use.
Post-acute withdrawal syndrome has been characterized as a lengthy period that can last from weeks to years that requires ongoing treatment (mostly in the form of therapy); otherwise, it can lead to an increased potential for relapse.
